One theater review stated, "Kim weaves the threads of her individual stories into a tapestry full of singular characters, fantastic situations, and heartfelt wisdom - all the best that a storyteller can offer". She has been a sought after storyteller, humorist and musician sharing her original stories and songs at theaters and festivals throughout the United States.
She has completed three (soon to be four) audio collections, performed story vignettes on radio networks, and written numerous childrens' stories. For 15 years Kim used the art of applied storytelling as a youth advocate, working with 'at risk' and 'in crisis' youth. Four years ago she turned to the stage, taking her love of humor and storytelling to a new level. She has been well received by festivals and fellow tellers and is most noted for her orginal Pitscreek series of stories. She is the National Youth Storytelling representative for Virginia, the President of the Virginia Storytelling Alliance and Founder of the Wrinkles Project, a national campaign to raise awareness of the national treasure that we possess in the form of life stories from folks within our elder communities. Her work in this area has recently resulted in her nomination for the Governor's Awards for the Arts. She recently became a grandmother *eek* and is trying to wrestle back the hands of time until they say 'uncle'. Learn more about Kim at www.justkissthefrog.com |
